The New Music + Technology Festival, showcasing the ever-broadening field of music technology, focusing on new compositions and performance systems.

The festival features a series of new compositions from students, faculty, and friends of the festival that will be performed in the Cube at the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech and the Creativity and Innovation District living-learning community.
Wednesday will feature two original works from 2025 Yee Commission winner, David Biedenbender: "Before the Red Sky Reaches Us" and an additional fixed-media work. The former will be performed by October Sky Ensemble, made up of School of Performing Arts faculty members Brian Thorsett, tenor; John Irrera, violin; Alan Weinstein, cello; and Annie Stevens, percussion. A clarinet performance from Bryce Newcomer, who recently joined the School of Performing Arts as collegiate assistant professor of clarinet and music theory, will round out the performance.
